New Rupp Project, What Do you Think?

[Ruppster81]

It all started when I was around 13-14 years old I had a rupp mini bike that was just a bare frame and motor that I rode around (I didn't know it was a rupp then) I junked it because the jackshaft bent and I couldn't afford to have a new one made :mad2:

Anyways I found me project that I bought off ebay and I have been doing alot of research on the bike, It is a 72? Rupp Roadster 2 almost complete... The only thing I can see missing is Tail light/the intake looks like its gone (slanted) and the rear grab bar? maybe some didnt come with one?

Not sure how I did price wise but I was hard pressed to find anybody who would part with their rupp let alone ship one. I think I did good. Here is the link from ebay on the bike. http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Bike-Rupp-Roadster-II_W0QQitemZ140128033237QQihZ004QQcategoryZ14059QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I plan to restore this bike in its stock form and enjoy it.

Hey Ruppster

Nice find. I just got to ride my first Rupp this year at Windber. They ride real nice! Brandt at www.rupparts.com can help you with any info or parts you need.

Ruppster, your bike is a 72 Roadster 2. Bronze in color(less bronze than other colors it seems). The grab bar is a factory option

Hey thank's for the info, I was pretty sure it was a 72 but didnt know how to really tell them apart.

Rupparts would you happen to have a NOS or used slant intake for this bike?
